Iranian Mossad Agent Reveals Role in Preemptive Attacks During Israel-Iran War

An Iranian national, known by the pseudonym "Arash," disclosed his involvement as a Mossad agent in a series of preemptive attacks during the Israel-Iran war that began in June 2025. In an interview aired on Channel 12's investigative show "Uvda" on January 29, 2026, Arash detailed the mission that took place on the night of June 12-13, 2025, when Israeli forces launched Operation Rising Lion against Iranian nuclear sites. His role involved preparing and launching a missile aimed at a ballistic missile launcher targeting Israel.

Arash described the mission's execution, highlighting the challenges faced while assembling the missile system in Iran. He noted that while he could assemble the system in under an hour during training in Israel, it took him approximately one hour and forty minutes in Iran due to environmental factors and the need for caution. He remained in constant communication with Mossad headquarters in Tel Aviv throughout the operation. At around 3 a.m., after a two-hour wait for the launch order, he successfully launched the missile, which he later confirmed had destroyed its target.

Arash's motivations for joining Mossad stemmed from personal experiences with the Iranian regime. He recounted a traumatic incident from his childhood when his sister was arrested for not wearing a hijab, which ultimately led his family to flee Iran. This experience instilled in him a desire to combat the regime and assist those still living under its rule. After contacting Mossad in 2015, he underwent training and began his covert operations.

The June 2025 attacks were part of a larger Israeli strategy to neutralize perceived threats from Iran's nuclear program. Following the initial strikes, Israel conducted multiple operations targeting Iranian military infrastructure, while Iran retaliated with missile attacks on Israeli positions. The conflict highlighted the ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran, particularly regarding nuclear capabilities and regional security.

In response to the revelations from Arash, Israeli officials emphasized the importance of preemptive actions in safeguarding national security. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office acknowledged the development of various attack plans against Iranian nuclear sites, including the complex operation targeting the Fordo facility, which remained a significant challenge due to its fortified location.

Critics of the Israeli operations argue that such preemptive strikes could escalate tensions further and provoke retaliation from Iran. Iranian officials have condemned the attacks, framing them as acts of aggression that threaten regional stability.
